Best Dive Bar with a View
The Travis Marina Bar (aka Presidio Yacht Club) at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge in Sausalito has the best views in Marin. They have an upstairs bar run by Travis Air Force base open to the public Thursday thru Sunday. Frequently they have live music on those nights. Downstairs they have a function room for rent complete with a kitchen for catering purposes. This is truly a treasure in Marin not to be missed. Check out their website for more info.

It's really amazing to see the males fight for dominance, the newborn pups and the interactions between them all. After your hike, stop by Saltwater Oyster Depot in Inverness for a meal.
February Market Watch
Lack of inventory was the theme for 2015 and continues into 2016. Home sales in the Bay Area started out the new year with a bang, hitting their highest level in three years for the month of January, according to a new report by CoreLogic, the Irvine-based real estate information firm. Marin County January sales for 2016 were up 5.4% over January 2015 sales. The question I have been asked the most since the beginning of the year is "how is the decline in the stock market affe
